Hopefully this will make the BBC think twice about asking for Kitty Holland’s opinion on anything. Pity the Irish Times still platforms her, the sour streak of misery.

So if I’m getting this right and I’m not sure if I am, the BBC interviewed / got a quote from Casey in the days after Aisling’s murder, during an extremely emotional time that could have been interpreted as racist or possibly was?
Surely there needs to be some kind of law against media interviewing loved ones and family in the days after a tragedy?
Is that what happened?

Is it not a bit strange that the article does not mention that it was an Irish Times journalist who made these comments on this BBC programme?

He said nothing wrong, the sooner the state starts acting the way most people are thinking the better for everyone’s future.

His victim impact statement was powerful.
And everything he said about that murdering shit was 100% correct

From an older Sunday World article:
>Host Mark Carruthers interviewed Irish Times journalist Kitty Holland who said elements of the media were right not to report Mr Casey’s full statement as they were “not helpful”.
>Ms Holland said she understood Mr Casey was heartbroken but said there were “elements that were not good” in his comments. She said the far right had “latched onto” them but were ignoring all the cases of violence against women by white, Irish men.
Looking into it again and I can’t see anything Kitty Holland said related to this that wasn’t correct.
